Donald Trump, Convicted Felon, Just Lost His Gun Rights
HuffPost
Guess he can’t shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump lost his right to buy or possess firearms and ammunition Thursday after a Manhattan jury convicted him on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments to keep a porn star quiet during the 2016 presidential election.
Trump has long enjoyed strong support from the largely conservative gun rights movement, repeatedly addressing gatherings of the National Rifle Association and recently vowing to roll back firearm restrictions that the Biden administration had pushed through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Those facing federal indictments, as Trump has since last year, cannot legally buy firearms. But Trump was allowed to retain the guns he previously owned while the cases moved forward without running afoul of the law, provided he did not transport them across state lines.
With his 34 felony convictions, however, Trump is now officially a prohibited person.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 bars those convicted of crimes punishable by up to one year in prison from buying or possessing firearms or ammunition. Trump’s convictions are each punishable by sentences up to four years in prison, though he has yet to be sentenced.
